Hello <<First Name>>,



The Sentencing Council's guidance comes into force on the 1st of February 2016 and will apply regardless of the date of the offence. It will give judges a framework of tiered penalties for different sizes of organisation, level of harm risked and culpability.
 

  • New guidance will extend to all health and safety offences
  • Fines will be proportionate to the turnover of the company
  • Even medium sized companies could face fines of up to £4 million
  • Cost-cutting at the expense of safety and a poor record of H&S will lead to increased fines
